Formulas Required
The template leverages several advanced Excel formulas to automate tracking and reporting:
- Auto-Week Ending Date (Cell A2):
=TODAY()-MOD(TODAY()-1,7)– Automatically updates the week ending date every Monday. - Total Weekly Savings (Dashboard Cell): In the "Savings Performance Dashboard", use
=SUMIF('Compliance Tracker (Weekly)'!E:E, ">0")to total all savings from active entries. - Status Count by Category: Use
COUNTIFSformulas to count compliance activities by status and area (e.g., count of non-compliant items per category). - Average Weekly Savings:
=AVERAGE('Compliance Tracker (Weekly)'!D:D)– Calculates average savings over the tracked period. - Last Updated Date: In the Instructions sheet, use
=TEXT(TODAY(), "mm/dd/yyyy")to auto-update last modification date.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance data visibility and prioritize action items, the template applies dynamic formatting:
- Non-Compliant Status: Red fill with white text for rows where "Status" = "Non-Compliant".
- Savings Above $500: Green background to highlight significant cost-saving actions.
- Last 3 Weeks Highlight: Light blue shading on the three most recent weeks for trend analysis.
- Low Savings (< $100): Yellow fill to flag minor savings that may not justify effort.
